Description

In ‘Leaving Childhood Behind,’ book two of the Buried Deep in Shallow Ground Series, Mary Arlene Blake and her three friends are facing puberty. They are out-growing childhood and becoming adolescents in an Ireland where The Troubles and emigration were a fact of life. Living in a strait-laced society, where young girls are expected to behave properly, doesn’t deter the teenagers from falling madly and deeply in love.
As we follow the girls and their fun-filled lives, the discovery of human bones on the deserted grounds of the Mother and Baby Home is of no big concern to the authorities or to the townspeople. The priest said a decade of the rosary and the matter is soon forgotten about. The secrets of the past must remain buried deep.
